A lot of Green Lantern fans aren't pleased over the prospect of Josh Brolin playing Hal Jordan, but here's why this could be a good move for Lanterns.

Brolin was eyed to play Hal Jordan, the cocky Green Lantern hero previously played by Ryan Reynolds in the ill-fated 2011 Green Lantern movie.

According to THR, Josh Brolin has passed on the offer to play Hal Jordan in Max’s upcoming Green Lantern series, Lanterns. John Cena discussed the long road to Peacemaker ‘s second season in another recent interview with Variety.

Fans are calling for Chris Pine to take on the role of Hal Jordan in the forthcoming Lanterns series after it was reportedly turned down by Josh Brolin.
